A modern-day comedian describes Jesus as she sees Him, but is she correct? Just what kind of Jesus can we expect at His second coming?

(1) Jesus and his core disciples were not formally educated. They were considered "unlearned" and "ignorant" :

Now about the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and taught. And the Jews marveled, saying, “How does this Man know letters, having never studied?” -John 7:14-15

"Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus." -Acts 4:13

(2) Jesus was HOMELESS, unemployed and received support from others during His 3 1/2 year ministry:

"And Jesus said to him, Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man has no where to lay his head." -Luke 9:58

"and certain women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities—Mary called Magdalene, out of whom had come seven demons, and Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod’s steward, and Susanna, and many others who provided for Him from their substance." -Luke 8:2-3

(3) Jesus violated the cultural customs of his nation:

"Then some Pharisees and teachers of the law came to Jesus from Jerusalem and asked, “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They don’t wash their hands before they eat!”

Jesus replied, “And why do you break the command of God for the sake of your tradition? For God said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’ and ‘Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.’ But you say that if a man says to his father and mother, ‘Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is a gift devoted to God,’ he is not to ‘honor his father’ with it. Thus you nullify the word of God for the sake of your tradition." - Matthew 15:1-6

(4) Jesus was not physically attractive:

"He grew up before him like a tender shoot, and like a root out of dry ground. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him." -Isaiah 53:2

(5) Jesus believed He was God in human person:

"So the Jewish leaders tried all the harder to find a way to kill him. For he not only broke the Sabbath, he called God his Father, thereby making himself equal with God." John 5:18

"Before Abraham I existed" - John 8:58

(6) Jesus was accused of being a demon and a lunatic:

“I am not possessed by a demon,” said Jesus, “but I honor my Father and you dishonor me. -John 8:49

When his family heard what was happening, they tried to take him away. "He's out of his mind," they said -Mark 3:21

(7) Jesus did not come to bring world peace:

"Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." -Matthew 10:34

The Bible also tells us that Jesus was a Healer (Matthew 8:5-13); a Teacher (John 13:13); a Resurrected Messiah (Luke 24); The Savior of the World (1 John 4:14).

The Bible leaves no room to say that Jesus was just a "good man". No, either he was who his critics said he was or he was (is) who he believed Himself to be.

I want to thankyou for taking the time to view my page. Thank you for believing believers. You know who you are. The spirit brought you here and I know you’re watching. YOU are awesome!!

What makes me so unique? How am I thinking differently than everyone else? If everyone else thought the same thoughts that I did, would they come to the same conclusions about themselves, the universe, and the meaning behind its existence? Perhaps the most important question one might ask is, how can I change the world for the better?

 When I was young, my family and I would gather to watch the X-Men animated series of the 90s. For those of you whom are not familiar with the X-Men, “Im not gonna splain it to you,” there’s inner-net for that. :) Anyways, when I was very young I’d contemplate my existence, my creator, profoundly. Nothing bewildered me more than this shred of existence, this, perception of what we call life. What is it, exactly? WHY am I here? Why does any of this MATTER?  When you’re a kid, you’re told to do as you’re told, and you’re told to go to school, learn shapes, numbers, and quizzical facts about our four fathers. You’re told to choose a future career. I remember my classmates wanting to be firemen, news reporters, policemen or teachers, typical response for a child my age at the time. Call me crazy, but I thought, if anything is possible, why settle for less? From a young age, apart of me wanted to be god. I wanted to be a mutant, Jean Grey, Phoenix from the X-Men, more specifically. Isn’t that weird! That’s so weird, I know! regardless of the social conventions my external world tried to instill in me, my subconscious mind was hard at work. I recall a Facebook post that read:

“You’re born into this world, expected to go to school, get a degree and have a career… What if I wanted to be a duck?”

Throughout the “best years of our lives,”  which seemed only a torturous Groundhog’s day for me and my peers, the question of “who am I and why am I here?” still burned. Nothing seemed more important. If I could name one thing my parents did to raise me that I am perhaps most grateful for it would be our movie collection. By my high school years, we had a collection of over 200 animated and 500 live action VHS tapes and DVDs and I’ve watched almost every single one of them. In which I’ve gained some spiritual insights that rang true to me. We’ve all heard the phrases,  “Love is the most powerful force in this universe” or “Love conquers all,” and “Love is eternal…” And, I remember thinking if I am to be the most powerful mutant, I’d aught to be very good at “Love.” And from there one might ask, well… What is love exactly?

The reason I believe this subject to be of great significance is that it propelled my mind to answer these difficult questions. To quote one of my favorite movies, “One can’t be told what the Matrix is… Is something you have to see for yourself.”

Fundamentally there is nothing different from you and I yet we were programed or inspired to make different choices from the result of an equation trying to balance itself out.

How can I change the world for the better? The answer is simple. Awareness.

We’ve been conditioned over the centuries to become less aware, that I am my neighbor and my neighbor is myself. This separatism is the enemy of progress. Even I sometimes still see myself as separate from everyone else because of my uniqueness It’s often difficult to relate to anyone but I’m working on embracing what makes me unique.

Hi, I am one with the universal mind, I have first hand experience of this truth, Im not just saying it. I have already changed the world for the better because of this truth, and by being more aware of myself, knowing that everyone and everything is connected, there are a mass of other who have become more aware of themselves. This is the “New age.”
